Very beautiful, I adore villanele,but have not yet dared to try and reading fabulous poems like yours make me wanna just take my hat of to you and bow.
If you don;t mind me saying, I read this outloud, and it seemed to me that this part:”Stitching up the pain but leaving a scar,” was a bit out of the rhytm, it was a bit harder for me to read it compared to the rest of the poem. Hope you don’t mind me saying, the poem is still very fabulous!This was my favourite sentence:”Songs in minor key, strings of a guitar,”

Hmm, I was trying to purposefully break up the rhythm as I thought it might be too monotonous as I have been advised against this, but this line was also really bugging me. Therefore, I have changed it. I am so happy you let me know what you like and what you do not as I tend to second-guess myself when I think someone is making a valid point. 🙂

Nicely done! I also love villanelles. Here’s one of mine, which I posted on my blog, if you are interested to read it. I strongly prefer rhymed and structured poetry over free verse, as I gather you do as well!
